Gordon for me has an elite mentality. Wants to play every minute and show he’s the best. Always said since start of season, for him to go to that next level to back up his mentality, he needs to add goals. Ones like against Arsenal mid week prime example. Just get in at that back post and score, doesn’t need to be fancy finishes, just get them in the net. Then opposition will be even more scared of him, because not only has he the work rate / ball retention / movement, it’s the goals that scare opposition. The new RW will then have so much more time to impact game too as opposition can’t double up on every key player.

I would want to keep Longstaff because it’s good to have your depth that HG and attachment. But Longstaff is regularly showing his limitations, has a last window of value and much needed cash to reinvest and lastly, Miley is replacing him for point one. Rather we parted our ways with the memories good, then it ending like how it is with Almiron for example, which will happen if Longstaff isn’t sold in summer IMO. Fly on the wall, I’d love to know if we even considered Longstaff in the PSR deal last summer? Or said no, you can have Anderson?

Fun enough tie with them having spent and in form.

Professional 2nd half once the main guys came on.

If he can't be trusted to do it against Bromley in his main position, what's the point? Better off selling if an offer is there in summer for £30m+ and getting a different back up option since Gordon is main guy.

Don't let Gordon have it

Didn't play midweek, so often it's good for the body to still be playing regularly and not have too long off.

Damning for Barnes that. Been argued enough, but if an offer of £30m+ is there in summer, we need to sell Barnes. Get someone else as back up LW knowing Gordon is main guy.

Them on and it's done quick game. More we leave it, the more bitty the game becomes and they'll be coming on anyway.

Just get Bruno on for Longstaff.

Trippier been as bad.

Sub Longstaff now. How much time did he want then, just to kick it against someones shins.

This game is once again showing what little ball players we have against a low block. Like Longstaff / Joe / Barnes / Almiron are all not good for it. So even with better quality, it's more easier to defend against.

Longstaff so shit

Yes Miley. Wake up now.

They're a physical team, so guess he's been picked to keep things in order.

I don't mind selling to our competitors if it's on our terms and we know it's the right time having got our mileage. Like Bruno will drop off badly in years to come, when he loses the half yard of his little pace, he's going to look so bad. So getting his best years, then selling to a Prem club who gets 1-2 season before being saddled with 4 years isn't bad. It's losing the ones who are on the cusp which would be hard. Like Isak to a Prem club, rather he went abroad.

Nearly a cup upset again on this TV game.

He was great at the Euros for Georgia. Certainly not overrated. Very talented player who’s allowed a dip in his early 20s. Guy was playing in Georgia 3 years ago ffs Had probably fuck all elite coaching and just plays of pure ability.

How about Morgan Whittaker for £12m? Squad option for rest of season and future depth if a wild offer comes for Murphy in summer.

Who hasn't got a 7 year contract there (that's been signed in past 24 months)? They've also got Sterling coming back too So probably got to suck up most of his wages even if they get him back out on loan. Would like us to sniff around Chukwuemeka too from them if available for £20m. He's a perfect CM for current Premier League.

Forgot they've got Mudryk too who's going to be banned. What a fucked up club they are

No issues IMO. Chelsea will probably push that narrative because if they need sales (which they will) people will be forced out. Chelsea next season have got Sancho / Felix / Esteavo / Neto for wide areas, and Madueke probably the one that's got a market due to lower wages so we should take advantage.

Some strike from a RB. Such a daft unique talent.

Clinical. Proper punishment for one mistake.
